Bengals fans were in their own way paying the charity forward. The Bengals upset the Ravens in Week 17 on a miraculous final play, and as a result of the surprising win, the Buffalo Bills were able to sneak into the playoffs, breaking the longest active postseason drought in the NFL.

Bills fans showed their appreciation for Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton by donating to his foundation, and now Bengals fans are doing the same for a quarterback that helped ensure a rival wouldn't make the Super Bowl.

The Blake Bortles Foundation works to support kids and adults intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as first responders in the local community. So far, almost $5,000 in donations have come into the charity since the Jaguars upset win over the Steelers on Sunday.

"Fans are at the core of the football experience and it's truly exciting and rewarding when they band together, regardless of the team they cheer for, to make a positive impact in the lives of others. I greatly appreciate the support displayed by Bengals fans and they should know their support will make a difference," said Bortles.

Bortles and the Jaguars will head to Foxborough to play in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots. Should they be able to pull out a win, it wouldn't be surprising to see a few more fan bases chip in to help support Bortles good works.
